So much has been talked about in regards to Frank Ocean since he revealed his sexuality in a letter on his Tumblr page. In an interview that he did with the Guardian Guide, Ocean opens up about his decision to come out and gives detailed explanations about his situation.
"...I'm happy when I wake up in the morning, and not with this freakin' boulder on my chest", he said. "I wished at 13 there was somebody I looked up to who would have said something like that, who would have been transparent in that way."
Frank also discussed the letter that he wrote on his Tumblr which ultimately revealed the news to the world.
"I knew that I was writing in a way that people would ask questions. I knew that my star was rising, and I knew that if I waited I would always have somebody that I respected be able to encourage me to wait longer, to not say it till who knows when."
Ocean then went on to diminish the risk of his coming out.
"People are just afraid of things too much. Sure, evil exists, extremism exists. Somebody could commit a hate crime and hurt me. But they could do the same just because I'm black. They could do the same just because I'm American."
The full interview will be published on Saturday.
